How to Meditate

Guided Meditations & Teachings

In this course we will learn how to meditate and how to integrate Buddha’s teachings on wisdom and a good heart in to our daily lives through this practice of meditation.

Buddhist meditation teaches us how to access and maintain inner joy, even when experiencing difficulties. Connecting to the natural joy within our mind opens us up to recognising and identifying with the potential for happiness, love and other good qualities that exist within each and every one of us. This empowers us with a sense of purpose in our life, an inner drive to actualize our unbelievable potential so that we can be of real benefit to our family, friends and everyone throughout our world. The emphasis will be on how to integrate our practice of training the mind with every aspect of our life: work, family, friends, down-time etc.

* These sessions are ideal for those wishing to start meditating and for those who want to deepen their existing experience. The methods taught are beneficial to everyone, whether Buddhist or not. Although part of a series, the classes are self-contained and no previous experience is required.

* Please feel free to drop in on a class-by-class basis. Classes are held every week unless otherwise stated. No special clothing is required.

WHY LEARN TO MEDITATE

The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. If our mind is peaceful, we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we will experience true happiness; but if our mind is not peaceful, we will find it very difficult to be happy, even if we are living in the very best conditions. If we train in meditation, our mind will gradually become more and more peaceful, and we will experience a purer and purer form of happiness. Eventually, we will be able to stay happy all the time, even in the most difficult circumstances.

‘Meditation provides an inner joy which is not dependent upon external situations. My work is often challenging and meditation has helped me to remain calm even when problems come up. It has also helped me improve my relationships with others. I value every day due to the opportunities that these practices have given me to transform my daily experiences in to the causes for joy and well-being’.
